Instrument approaches Helicopter certification
Hi all, I’m struggling to find on EASA AIR OPS where it’s written which type of Instrument Approaches the Helicopters are allowed to shoot.
As far as I’m concern, by definition, I always got told during my training that Helicopter are located under the CAT I approach operation (max 91kts, DH 200 ft, RVR 500 since heli) if there are no CAT H procedure specified.
Can someone help me out ?
Cheers

Basic info is here: CAT.OP.MPA.110 Aerodrome operating minima
Additional info here: GM6 SPA.LVO.100(c) Low-visibility operations and operations with operational credits
I know NHV recently received Lower Than Standard (LTS) Cat I approval in Denmark, for their 175s, with 130 ft and 300m minima.
